On a serious note, what was the reason he croaked - you said in an earlier
post you found him, so does one assume his heart gave way or what?

He had some kind of cough that led to something worse. The official
cause of death will not be released for another 60-90 days, but it's
looking like some kind of pneumonia.

So, he must have been ill before that and that the pneumonia was a
subsequent condition, yes?

The coroner won't release the official report for another 2-3 months,
but it looks like some kind of pneumonia.

I appreciate your patience and hope you will extend it further, although I
know you do not have to respond to what I'm about to query.

With a man who clearly was unwell, according to your description of his
condition last week or so, I'm unclear, in fact astounded nobody close to
him, if not himself (his stubbornness' notwithstanding
[if applicable]) would take the initiative to have him see a quack or
admitted to hospital.

Damn, if I came over with the feeling of weakness and I could exclude, and
not dismiss the prospect of 'flu' for example, I would hope I would do
something about it, or hope that those close to me would recognise I was not
my 'normal' 'healthy' self. <shakes head>

Look, I don't doubt that events can move relatively quickly, not least we
all have enough on our plates for various reasons, and that if someone like
Lee, who appeared to have everything going for him, well liked/connected,
and a close knit family, even at sixty-one years old, was unable to check
himself or hopefully rely on others to see something out of the ordinary in
his demeanour was perhaps amiss, what hope is there for the rest of us?

Maybe he did just have an unusually effective, yet fatal 'bout' of
pneumonia - Very strange.
